Eating Contest champion once again. As if there was ever a doubt.
The 34-year-old took home his third straight title — his 11th in

celebrated the Fourth of July by slamming a record-breaking 74 hot
dogs into his face and earning the $10,000 prize.
On the women’s side, American Miki Sudo took home her fifth
straight title in the competition by eating 37 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
